I don't think the 204 ever came in a widescreen. I think it went from 204 -> 205W. I seem to recall hearing that the manufacturers are switching over to W format cause there is less waste from cutting the master glass.

So I have three monitors and all my school notes are on powerpoint. How do I open multiple powerpoints at the same time? I can physically open them and have them in the taskbar, but I can't view them on multiple monitors. How do I do that? It works in word just fine.

Got a netgear FWAG114. The firewall and VPN are great for avoiding having to install the college campus spywear to access the network. Expensive though.

PC's are finally up and running after a couple weeks of random DOA parts and software/driver conflicts. I got in on the deal when newegg was having the 204B's for like 270 each. By the way, the monitors are sweet. The colors do fade weird if you look from crazy angles but in...

My friend just bought a 30" apple. It looks pretty sweet. He also has a the 24" sony crt and a samsung 214T which it seemed to compare nicely to. If you're worried about the overnight replacement, just go into an apple store and have them open it up and run the monitor. If you got a...

Yea Im tempted just to return the mobo, both the frys and newegg one, along with the memory, and drop some extra cash on a nicer motherboard.

Yea i did that. I put it together on a piece of plywood. Nothing. With two different mobos even. What I dont get is that the mobo is so simple there is nothing to change. The only jumper is the one for clearing the cmos. I tried booting in both positions. It makes absolutely no sense...

I just put together a system with it and an E6300. I spent a week trying to get it to post. No luck so I took it into frys. Two separate boards and the same result. Hook everything up, press power, and nothing. Im sure it will work well once it gets fixed. Oh yea, the 16x slots are...

In the words of dave chappelle, "THATS THE MOST BALLEST SH%T EVER!" Must have dropped a lot on that system. All you need now is a 30" monitor.

@ PCMUSIC guy Im using 2 mushkin 1GB sticks DDR2 667 I have no case speaker on the antec p180... go figure. @jcll2002 Tried that after I looked it up. It spins up the molex fans just fine. Thanks for the help so far guys. When I get back from the gym, Im gonna fully assemble...

How do I short the PSU? I've been shorting the pins on the front panel connector just like the case switch does. I think its something Im doing wrong because I went to frys and picked up and extra board and new power supply to use. EDIT: When shorting 14 and 15 the fans come on, so the...

For some reason this board is giving me hell. I can't get it to power up. I've tried two boards with two power supplies. Right now I have the board just connected to a power supply, and I was trying to get it to start to see if the fans would spin up. Nothing. I hooked up the board to the...

Just built my new computer. The problem is its not posting. I pulled everything out and just installed the graphics card, proc, and one stick of ram. Can't get anything. Any ideas? Is it possible to run the mobo without the processor and ram to see if its the motherobard? Here are my...

The breakout box is about 300$. For that price you could buy two 7600's. The only thing I can think of is that some software won't run multimonitor natively, but by using this the computer thinks its one monitor.

What he said ^ 1600x1200 = 1920000 1680x1050 = 1764000 and 8% reduction
